Week Two: Central Saint Martins

In my second week of summer school we were lucky enough to have a day at Central Saint Martins...

My friends casually posing outside Central Saint Martins!

We had our classes in the LVMH lecture theatre ( I could hardly contain my excitement!) 

It was another glorious day of sunshine and much to our delight the steps overlooking Regents Canal were covered with fake grass and so we spent our lunch hour sunning ourselves and chilling on the grass...

Just outside the school there were fountains which I decided to run in and out of, So. Much. Fun.

After class we walked along Regents Canal, all the way to Camden! 

At Camden Lock we stopped and watched a band called the Kings Parade, I have since become obsessed with their music, definitely worth a listen...

Nutella is possibly my most favourite food, so I was chuffed to find this on the back of a takeaway van haha!

Chilling on the scooter chairs!

Time to go home to Hackney!

Week Two: Weekend Baby!

Our first weekend in London was my favourtie (don't know how I can say that it was all ma favoutie...but seriously this was my favourite haha!) In the morning we went to our local street market and stumbled across some Boris Bikes and thought, whhhhy not!?! After much a humming and ahhhing (maybe more like grunting and screaming) I finally worked out how to release my bike (it was a good start!) 

We rode our bikes along Regents Canal, (completely lethal, we almost ended up in the canal several times!) and ended up in Camden.Camden, ah I just loved it! My little face couldn't contain my smile and I could not contain my excitment! I loved wandering in and out of all the stalls, getting lost, listening to the sales patter, finding hidden treasures, I could have stayed there forever. 

Our spot at lunch, a beautiful view of the canal ...

Yet again we took a disco nap and headed out for a night in the town, this time we ended up in Shoreditch...

On Sunday we rose bright eyed and bushy tailed and headed off to Potters Fields Park. Thanks to Google we discovered there was a big screen showing the Wimbledon final! This was our spot, it was completely packed with people on what I am sure was the hottest day of the year! 

The atmosphere alone was electrifying! By miles it was the best game I have ever seen! These was taken straight after Andy's win! The excitement on our faces says it all haha!

 Till next time xxx

Week One: City Trek

So today I was flicking through my photos of London and was reminded of my city trek which was one of our assignments to complete. Each group had a different route, this was ours. It started with our local underground station, Bethnal Green...

After a few changes on the underground we popped out at St Paul's Cathedral and walked along the Millennium Bridge...

We continued our walk along the River Thames...

Passed Big Ben...

And Westminster Station...

Spotted a Borris Bus!

Took a dander through St Jame's Park...

Passed Buckingham Palace..

And we finally ended up in Hyde Park, finally finding everyone else!(After many a phone calls!) Despite our aching feet after our trek around the city we still found the energy to head out and have a night on the town! Big smiles! 

See you soon xxx

Week One: The Crystal

I am back again with yet more London stories :)

During week one week we all took a field trip to The Crystal, a museum with exhibitions dedicated to the exploration of urban sustainability and our future of cities. It provided some useful hints and pointers for our coursework!

Me and my friend Silvia outside The Crystal...

Across from The Crystal were some cable cars...

We went on an adventure!
